Over twenty historically-dressed interpreters come together for this time-honored practice as they embrace the hog from jowl to ham and everything in between. Observe the preparations of chitterlings and sausages and the making of bacon. Gather around the hearth for some 18th century Carolina Backcountry cooking. The living history museum at Brattonsville will present a sundry of pork-processing activities throughout the day.
